Should I smile in my passport photo or should I have a straight face?

Smiling in your passport photo is preferred. The majority of ESL teaching positions in Korea are to teach students from kindergarten through grade 6. A friendly smile can leave a good impression on these types of employers.

This will depend on your country. In South Africa you should not smile. Also South African passport photos are now taken digitally at the Department of Home Affairs (no need to bring a photo in anymore).
